摘要
The influence of a number of solid and chemical additives on the sensitivity and operational stability of a tyrosinase carbon paste electrode was studied. Cyclic voltammograms were run of the electrochemically active catechol/o-quinone couple on unmodified and additive modified carbon paste electrodes without tyrosinase. This was done in order to study the influence of these additives on the pure electrochemistry of the carbon paste. The influence on the total system (additive and enzyme modified carbon paste electrode) was studied in the flow injection mode. In some instances a dramatic improvement of the direct electron transfer of the catechol/o-quinone couple was obtained with both solid and chemical additives included in the carbon paste. A similar improvement of biosensor sensitivity in the flow injection mode was obtained with most chemical additives whereas the solid additives had a negative impact on biosensor sensitivity. The results obtained in this work indicate that these additives influence the purely electrochemical processes at the carbon paste and/or the performance of the enzyme in the carbon paste environment. How and why these additives can possibly influence the biosensor performance are discussed.
